SUPER GLUE NEED HELP ASAP?

I could of put this in the medical heading, but I got in this predictament working on a car. I was gluing on a insignia(decal, decoration) back on my ladies glove compartment of her car. The task went well. It was a beautiful day out, everybody and the dogs were out running around. I made the mistake of putting the GLUE in my pocket. My dog comes and jumps up on me, nothing out of the ordinary. About a minute later, my leg is getting hot. I'm a old coot, I knew what happened, but to late. I almost glued my hand in my pocket, just checking it out. I had to cut my jeans off. I have a pocket glued to my <junk>. I am not going to a doctor, and I'm NOT using nail polish remover. Anybody know of anything else? Both hands are glue free. And yes, the dog in my avatar. Good thing I didn't get glued up with that. It was just a tube of the stuff, not 2 part. The heat was the burn,I don't know how else to describe it. It's solid now, it hurts to walk. I'm thinking mineral oil, I'm not using anything petrol based.Hurts enough already. Gonna go soak. Shampoo!! Probably end up shaving everything anyhow. This is one question I never would of thought of.

1. nail polish remover is suppose to remove super glue. also try lemon juice, but nail polish remover is a sure bet. It won't hurt you to use nail polish remover but it will smell a little funny. good luck!
2. they make a super glue solvent or remover, but it could be painful. Me, I would soak my junk in a hot tub, then immediately take a cold shower, the shock and shrinkage could knock it loose!
3. Hate to tell you, but you need to SOAK that junk in either nail polish remover, acetone or even carburetor cleaner to soften up that glue. If you really mean "crazy glue" (if you read the label and it says "cyanoacrylate") - you will have to do that - there's nothing short of precise cutting, soaking, and/or good old time that will release a cyanoacrylate bond. Soak the pocket/fabric with hits of the solvent, and keep a bottle of brandy handy for the possible "side reaction" If its epoxy, it'll be easier to get to release, but it'll still require some solvent to do that. I'm thinking you might have been using epoxy since you mentioned the heat part. You may be able to peel the fabric from the epoxy, then take a long, long, long hot bath to soften your skin, and keep the brandy handy for the possible uncomfortable sensation of peeling the epoxy resin off the general. And be good to the dog. He don't know better!
